As Jocelyn prepares for her triumphant return, a leaked photo sends her team into crisis mode, just as a journalist arrives to do an in-depth profile of her. Later, Jocelyn has a chance encounter with nightclub owner Tedros.

Tedros and Jocelyn’s relationship begins to take shape in this episode, hinting at the complexities and tensions that lie ahead. Although the premiere episode may be seen as a slow build, it succeeds in tempting audiences and engaging them in a world where ambition and vulnerability collide. Jocelyn’s unraveling mental state offers insight into her complexities and motivations.

“The Idol” is a show with passionate performers who give it their all, but the dialogue feels forced and cringe-worthy at times. The music is fantastic, and the score adds a great touch. It’s clear that the show tries too hard to provoke a reaction, which is a hallmark of Sam Levinson’s work.

Overall our rating for “The Idol” Season 1 Episode 1 “Pop Tarts & Rat Tales” is [1.5/5]
